This was new to me, i have never done one of these before and i thought i was going to have a hard time figuring out how to get it to work. but it really wasn't that bad. I don't really like the sound of my voice recorded. when i first heard it i was like "that's me!?!" i was laughing at myself. My mic keeps doing this skipping thing on some words so i hope when you listen to it you can still understand what i'm saying. I had fun with it and i really like the technology for an assignment like this, it's different and im pretty sure i would try to use it in the classroom. There are a lot of different ways to use technology in the classroom that i never knew about til i took this class and now i have tons and tons of websites and stuff i can use some day. Even just for me to use for other projects that i may have in the future.But overall i liked it, even if i had to re-record myself a lot. Do i really sound like that? good lord. I sound funny.

I couldn't figure out how to get the English stand course of study in picture form to put in my slide show so im going to just paste it here:

Competency Goal 4
The learner will apply strategies and skills to create oral, written, and visual texts.

4.01 Read aloud grade-appropriate text with fluency, comprehension, and
expression demonstrating an awareness of volume and pace.
4.02 Use oral and written language to:
  • present information and ideas in a clear, concise manner.
  • discuss.
  • interview.
  • solve problems.
  • make decisions.
4.03 Make oral and written presentations using visual aids with an awareness
of purpose and audience.
4.04 Share self-selected texts from a variety of genres (e.g., poetry, letters,
narratives, essays, presentations).
4.05 Use planning strategies to generate topics and organize ideas (e.g.,
brainstorming, mapping, webbing, reading, discussion).
4.06 Compose a draft that conveys major ideas and maintains focus on the topic with specific, relevant, supporting details by using preliminary plans.
4.07 Compose fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama using self-selected and
assigned topics and forms (e.g., personal and imaginative narratives, research
reports, diaries, journals, logs, rules, instructions).
4.08 Focus revision on a specific element such as:
  • word choice.
  • sequence of events and ideas.
  • transitional words.
  • sentence patterns.
4.09 Produce work that follows the conventions of particular genres (e.g.,
personal and imaginative narrative, research reports, learning logs, letters of
request, letters of complaint).
4.10 Use technology as a tool to gather, organize, and present information.
I think that this whole project can fall under all of this.
